The 37-year-old British actor is bald for his upcoming role in Creation, in which he plays the father of evolutionary theory, Charles Darwin. In the film, Paul’s real-life wife Jennifer Connelly will play Emma Darwin, the wife (and cousin) of Charles. Emma was also the mother of their ten children.

The first pictures of Paul in character surfaced back in October.

A balding Paul Bettany shoots scenes with costar Toby Jones for their upcoming bio drama, Creation, in London on Friday.

In the film, Bettany, 37, plays world-renowned scientist Charles Darwin, who conceives a book that purportedly proves the non-existence of God. Crushed by the loss of his eldest daughter, Darwin writes his master-work, “The Origin of Species”. The movie tells of a global revolution played out the confines of a small English village; a passionate marriage torn apart by the most dangerous idea in history; and a theory saved from extinction by the logic of a child.

Bettany’s real-life wife Jennifer Connelly will play Emma Darwin, the wife (and cousin) of Charles. Emma was also the mother of their ten children.

Jennifer Connelly attends the world premiere Cirque du Soleil’s latest seasonal show Wintuk at the WaMu Theater in Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

The stunning 36-year-old actress attended the show (about a whimsical circus fable about a young boy’s quest for snow) with actor husband Paul Bettany and their two children — Kai, 10, and Stellan, 4. Cute family photo!

So far reviews for Wintuk have not been very pleasant, but who cares, I have tickets for Saturday’s afternoon show!

“Wintuk leads inevitably to a climactic in-house confetti blizzard, which is literally a blast. But it’s too little, too late. In the end, this is Cirque du So What.” — NY Daily News

“After nearly 25 years of combining top-quality artistry with commercial success in dozens of shows, it’s to be expected that Cirque du Soleil would finally stumble and fall on its face. Which is exactly what it’s done with its latest project, Wintuk, which opened at Madison Square Garden this week.” — The Star

Word to the wise: If you see Jennifer Connelly driving on the road, get as far away as possible!!!!!!!!

Additionally, Jennifer was spotted in NYC’s West Village on Wednesday with hubby Paul and their two children — Kai, 10, and Stellan, 4. Kai’s father is photographer David Dugan and it looks like Kai has taken up his father’s interests by playing with his very own camera!
